Foreword The MF-IDUCTOR is suitable for the inductive heating of
ferromagnetic components such as bearing rings, housings,
nuts, bolts and pipes. Depending on the workpiece, either
fixed or flexible inductors can be used. This makes the
MF-IDUCTOR a versatile tool for assembly, disassembly
or preheating. The PAD-inductor can be used to remove
stickers, layers of paint or paint residues on steel parts.
When disassembling shrink connections, the MF-IDUCTOR
specifically heats the component to be removed from the
outside, such as a bearing inner ring on the shaft. The bearing
inner ring expands due to the rapid heating and can therefore
be easily pulled o the shaft. The MF-IDUCTOR is also suitable
for loosening rusted screw connections or glued connections.

The pictograms appearing on the MF-IDUCTOR have the
following meanings:
Forbidden for persons with pacemaker or
other sensitive implants.
Caution! This equipment generates a magnetic
field which can erase magnetic data from
credit cards and the like.
Caution! This equipment includes components
which may reach high temperatures.
2. Safety, warnings and potential hazards
2.1 Explanation of the
pictograms
2.2 Description of
potential hazards The MF-IDUCTOR must not be used by persons
in the following groups:
■users with a pacemaker;
■users with psychiatric or physical
impairments whose use of the equipment
would present a hazard to the user or their
environment;
■users below 16 years of age without the
supervision of an adult.
■The user must carefully read this manual and be familiar
with the safety standards in the work practice.
■Follow the instructions in the manual at all times.
The following must be checked before the equipment is
connected to the mains supply:
■The original mains lead with its IEC Lock is connected (in
case of doubt, contact the supplier)
■The MF-IDUCTOR is undamaged (no cracks or holes in the
housing);
■Only use original MF-IDUCTOR inductors. Do not modify the
generator.
2.3 Safety measures
to be taken

Schaeer Technologies 9
The MF-IDUCTOR has a number of (patented) internal safety
features. If one of these trips the unit will switch o and
the LED will flash when the on/o button is depressed. The
MF-IDUCTOR is equipped with a patented microprocessor
induction generator. In the event of overloading or overheating
of the generator the processor automatically reduces the
power to prevent damage to the induction generator.
2.4 Error messages
2.5 Overheating protection The unit will stop heating whenever its internal temperature
rises too high. Check:
1. that the fan is still operating
2. that the ventilation holes are unblocked
3. that power is connected, to ensure cooling
4. that only inductors approved by the manufacturer are
being used.
Solution: Delay heating until the unit has cooled suciently.
The unit monitors the temperature itself, and it will not be
usable until the internal temperature has fallen suciently.
This will be detectable as you will hear the fan switch o.
2.6 Connection safety feature Check:
1. that the inductor is correctly connected
2. that the inductors are not damaged
3. that the inductors are not causing a short-circuit to earth
or between the inductors
2.7 Mains current protection Ensure that the power supply meets the requirements of the
respective MF-IDUCTOR version. See also chapter 6.
2.8 Voltage and current
protection
Check:
1. that the mains voltage is not too high
2. that the inductor is not causing a short-circuit to earth,
or internally
3. where the flexible inductor is being used, that not too
many turns have been wound around the object to be
heated.
Solution: Remove some turns from the object to be heated and
retry.

induction technology for heating ferromagnetic metals e.g.:
screws, tubes, bushings or bearing inner rings. Depending on
the application, dierent flexible inductors, fixed inductors
and a PAD-inductor are available, see point 6.3 Accessories.
Due to the wide variety of plug types, the power cable supplied
may not fit the wall socket. In such cases, obtain a power cable
